Description

Six men. One night. A ravenous evil. No way out.

Lost in a remote wilderness, a group of old friends trapped in a relentless blizzard are stalked and hunted by a pack of predators like no other. In one bloody and horrific night, in a dark forest of ice and snow, beneath an unforgiving full moon, the brutal fight for their lives against the elements and the evil, ravenous horde stalking them has begun…

Winter bites…

As the night unfolds and comes alive all around them, their fight for survival begins, and the realization of what they're dealing with drives them deeper into the dark, frozen forest, deeper into themselves, their longstanding relationships, and the lengths they're willing to go to survive not just for themselves, but each other. For any chance at survival, they must fight their way through miles of dark forest and treacherous frozen land, all the while being pursued and hunted by an enormous pack of predators that until then they have always believed lived only in folklore and fantasy. When they uncover the true nature of what's happening, and the rituals and history behind those hunting them, it's nearly too late to stop what has already been put in motion. What has existed in the shadows dating back centuries is not only defending their territory and secret way of life, but their literal hunting grounds.

PACK ANIMALS (similar to Gifune's highly-successful novel of island terror, SAVAGES) is an homage to the survival horror novels of the '70s and '80s, and the exploitation films and drive-in movies of the same era. Classic survival horror, with a folk horror twist and a new take on a timeless archetype, it's also a story of friendship and heartache among a group of middle-aged friends, a blend that makes it perfect for fans of such modern horror masterpieces like DOG SOLDIERS and THE DESCENT.
